After being praised to the skies by critics and public alike in the Forties and Fifties, Josh White (1915-1969) later lost favour with blues fans who deemed the artist too sophisticated to be authentic, especially when they compared him with the giants of Delta blues they’d recently “rediscovered”.
White, however, is certainly one of the great figures of 20thcentury African-American popular music; to begin with, he and Blind Blake were indubitably the two founders of the Appalachian Piedmont or East Coast blues style. His nimble-fingered guitar-playing was bold and inventive, and he had a crystalline sound and unique vibrato then equalled only by Lonnie Johnson; it earned White enormous popularity with Black audiences. In parallel, Josh was a fervent Christian and de facto pupil of the itinerant evangelist Big Blind Man, and he recorded almost as many gospel pieces (often under the name The Singing Christian) as he did blues songs, some of which, like Jesus Gonna Make Up My Dying Bed,became standards in the genre.
